Alex.loves.boys Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) yo built my monty back up as some of you may of seen. and i'm running some monty snail cams. and to be honest there wank. i get my chain perfect and my wheel center, 10 mins later its moved and my chain is so slack that i could probaly pull it off the freewheel. so is there a solution? or can someone tell me some decent snail cams that actually hold the wheel in place. to be honest there pissing me off, i was trying hooking this wall and as i pulled my bike away, my wheel locked and my chain went super tight? f**k knows why maybe i'm doing something wrong but there seriously suck. are the fresh ones any good? or the inspired ones? thanks allot. alex Edited September 5, 2006 by alext Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 do you tighten your bolts up enough? mine shift around a fair bit if i don't you might want to go buy some steel bolts so you can tighten the fook out of them lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 My inspireds are horrible they dont hold in place for long enough to tighten my wheel and slip out of place. Fresh products ones for me next. my mates are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I use the FP ones, i've never used teethless ones so i don't know what they'll be like. But mine are really good, need to use the molegrips becuase you can't get enough forse behind them with just your fingers, but my wheel aint budging with those things in place.

Swize Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Try filing the notch out a bit so it makes it alot harder for the cam to slip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewannnn Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 My try-all ones work find, wheels never moved once and chain slacks off a tiny bit but then stays like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 i was hooking this 45 degree wall... Teach you to ride a monty Speaking of monty, you are running them on the outside of the frame aren't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 What cam's are they alex?I had old steel one's on my X-hydra which wern't so good, got a set of the black Ti one's, and I havn't had to worry about chain tension literally in months.Are you using the bolt's that go into the frame that you get with the cams or just random bolts? When I bought the new cams they came with two small bolt's with recessed allen head's, you'll know what I mean if you have them....The monty specific one's have a smaller diameter where the came would rest, meaning the 'teeth' are held properly, if you wer to just throw in a bolt or whatever, it wouldn't hold properly, that cuold be the problem....

Savage Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 The problem may not be your cams. Check to see if when the bolt is tight if the axel extends all the way through the cam, if it does it will never clamp the wheel in the frame.Ben.

If they are faily munched up a new set might be all it takes...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 They havn't got the bit with the wee monty logo? That's what gives you the leverage to tighten them enough, are you using them with the supplied bolt's that I mentioned earlier and are in the picture?
